Grandma Lorena McClain kept beautiful records of everything. She wrote in the Memorial Record that C A McClain, age 81, of Yougene Street was walking to the store for a bottle of milk from Rogers Grocer, smoking his pipe, after laughing and talking with his children and grandchildren. The newspaper clipping shows he was hit by a car in the 400 block of Highland Avenue, dying in Birmingham Hospital 4 hours later.
